Eggless Carrot cake, I've finally started to get a little more adventurous with my eggless recipes and have tried and succeeded on an eggless Carrot Cake loaf, it was light, moist and actually you couldn't tell it was eggless.
I think I've actually found a brilliant substitute to eggs - buttermilk with baking soda. Getting the portions right and keeps the cakes airy and light without tasting chewy or bread-like.They do not rise as much as a traditional cake but a lot better than my vegan cake recipes.
